The Italian government has deported another batch of Nigerians for committing immigration-related offences in the country, just two weeks after it deported 33 Nigerians.

According to The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) , the fresh 37 deportees arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMlA) Lagos, on Tuesday night.

The deportees, who are all males, were brought back in a chartered aircraft with registration number OM-IEX.

DSP Joseph Alabi, the spokesman of the Lagos Airport Police Command, confirmed the development to NAN.
NAN gathered that the deportees were profiled by immigration authorities and were each given a stipend to facilitate their transportation to their respective states.

On 23 February, Italy also sent 33 Nigerians back home.
